Coming out of the closet !!!!!!!

That is an interesting title, not just, because I am tired of hiding the embarrassing fact that I find certain issues for myself wrong. On the other hand, maybe it that I don’t want others to be offended by my personal opinion, to the point that they think I am judging them for their opposition, but from my closet to yours here it is!
I Don’t Wear Pants!!!
It has not always been so; actually, it was birthed in my heart at a bill Gothard seminar when I was 14. I thought skirts were romantic and my girlish heart embellished my whims as I sewed long beautiful country skirt so that I could walk through the long hay fields dreaming of my future life Mate. My prince to finally come and take me away And He did. My prince truly did come he came to train my horse prince, and seeing as we were city people in the country by the time my true prince came, Prince the horse was spoiled. I then no longer was I romancing my imagination but the heart of a true Young man. My skirt life tapered off to please his eyes in a world of visual competition, and I must admit, to make other girls jealous that “I had won the one they could not allure enough to bed down”, and to make guys think, “Man you’re a lucky guy to have caught that one”. I wanted my man to be proud of His mate, and proud to wear her on his arm, to feel he actually had something worth protecting. Then one day as we were out on a date I noticed men were looking at me, and not the way I liked. It did not make me feel beautiful it made me feel dirty and violated by the man's eyes. I had removed my ring to get it repaired, and could not even flash that, so I swiped Jeremy’s hoping it would help, then I switched sides of the table, then after a few dirty looks for my husband he finally left . Was I dressed immodestly? Not supper, I was wearing a slightly above the knee skirt and a blouse with heals. Did I look good Oh ya! So where is the problem?
Modesty is a matter of the heart
Mark 7:19-21
New Living Translation (NLT)
19 Food doesn’t go into your heart, but only passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.” (By saying this, he declared that every kind of food is acceptable in God’s eyes.)
20 And then he added, “It is what comes from inside that defiles you. 21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder,
With this verse said, It is not just what you wear that defiles you but the heart in which you were it .Were was my heart?
I have seen many a modest woman, skirt, and head coverings, that pray only on there knees … All Good if that is what is in your heart. Then one day we showed up early unannounced, and she was wearing tights wow I thought, I don’t get this she is all-holy on Sundays, and in service, than on that visit, we had come, and she is normal. That is until supper. when it came time to pray she put on a skirt put on a veil and knelt to pray. All right now that I have stomped on some sacred cows!
Here's the heart to heart ladies.
If you are truly modest, it is in your heart. That is wear modesty starts, it is a purifying of the inner woman to love, gentleness, and submission and when your heart is modest, your desires will follow.
Luke 11:34
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
You cannot have a double image God does not desire sacrifice ,but a heart turned and submitted to doing His will whether, He has told you to wear skirt ,or even head covering or maybe your just not there. Let your heart be reflected with your appearance and not deceiving. If to skirts than let it be so with determination .But more importantly than your clothes, let our hearts be ever pure and modest, and not distracted by the things that matter to man
1 Peter 3:1-4
Amplified Bible (AMP)
3 In like manner, you married women, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate yourselves as being secondary to and dependent on them, and adapt yourselves to them], so that even if any do not obey the Word [of God], they may be won over not by discussion but by the [godly] lives of their wives,
2 When they observe the pure and modest way in which you conduct yourselves, together with your[a]reverence [for your husband; you are to feel for him all that reverence includes: to respect, defer to, revere him—to honor, esteem, appreciate, prize, and, in the human sense, to adore him, that is, to admire, praise, be devoted to, deeply love, and enjoy your husband].
3 Let not yours be the [merely] external adorning with [elaborate][b]interweaving and knotting of the hair, the wearing of jewelry, or changes of clothes;
4 But let it be the inward adorning and beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which [is not anxious or wrought up, but] is very precious in the sight of God.
So that being said, I am no longer skirting the subject of My modesty, and if one day God presses it into your heart to let your skirt down and trail through the long grasses with me, than we shall indulge our romances together. But until than may you find true modesty of a heart submitted to the Father and not just that of your apparel – melody

I especially love women's ministry and worship!

Loving him in all we do and walking in His presence daily. I love the acrostic LORD: Love, Obey, Rely on Him, Daily. That is my calling and passion as I seek to bring The MOST WORTHY ONE glory!"
